As Schefter notes, the big winners are the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams, who were each awarded two third-round picks. The Chiefs’ additional pick comes from losing nose tackle Bennie Logan to the Tennessee Titans in last year’s free agency period.
The Chiefs traded their 2019 fourth-round pick for linebacker Reggie Ragland. The Chiefs now hold eight picks in the draft.
